Brewers 11, Twins 1
W: Gallardo (9-4) L: Liriano (4-7)
It's about time. The offense finally unleashes what it is capable of and the Brewer's inescapably dominate the Twins. Every fan in Milwaukee has been waiting for a night like this. A night where everything is going right and the Brewers finally beat a team by ten runs.
Four home runs made up half of the run support. Carlos Gomez set off a five-run third inning with his two-run homer to left field. Yuniesky Betancourt hit an inside-the-park home run when the ball bounced off the glove of Twins outfielder Delmon Young, who crashed into the wall afterward. Young sprained his left ankle on the play and had to be carted off. Prince Fielder hit a two-run home run, his 21st of the season, along with his league leading 67 RBI's. Fielder is now second all-time in Brewer's franchise with 213 home runs. Robin Yount holds the record with 251 home runs. Corey Hart tacked on to the lead with a solo shot in the ninth inning for good measure.
Yovani Gallardo pitched a great game, giving up only one earned run on six hits in seven innings for his ninth win of the season. He also had six strike outs giving him a total of 94 on the year. Gallardo leads the team in both wins and strikeouts.
The Brewers guaranteed their first interleague series win of the season and will look to sweep the Twins on Sunday afternoon when Chris Narveson takes the mound.
